DAZN cares about subscribers but they want subscribers that they can keep permanently instead of them just subscribing for a Canelo fight and then cancelling. Hearn talks about Canelo getting a million new subscribers, that's $10 million if they stay with the service and pay and don't just sign up for the free trial and cancel right away. Unfortunately I see a lot of people doing that, just signing up for a big fight and cancelling and resubscribing till the next big fight. DAZN has no content to keep subscribers on like Netflix and Prime do

I heard they did. Like other sports and all old matchroom and ODLH fights. Was they incorrect?

This is proof that most boxing fans are merely fan boys. They won't tune in for 2 highly ranked fighters fighting in each other in a competitive battle, but in less than 2 months, they'll start paying a subscription to watch a fight between their man crush and a 25-1 underdog.

I mean all DAZN cares about is subscribers. And that part will be taken care of by Canelo. Hearn and his roster? Yeah, they definitely weren't going to draw good ratings. Now he doesn't have to worry about that. Just needs to put on good fights and he will be good.

Canelo will bring fans, like myself onto the platform. I signed on the day the news of the $365 million broke out.

Golden Boy and Matchroom just need to make sure I stay there...

DAZN is garbage, they offer cricket, cycling, MMA and Japanese and Chile soccer games. There's really nothing on the schedule to see M-F. If there isn't a fight schedule there's pretty much nothing.
The only thing good so far has been a few WBSS fights that Hearn has nothing to do with matchmaking wise, Hearn's 2 cards and the upcoming one have been garbage. I could careless about old fights that I have already seen and know the outcome.

Why sign up now, should have waited until December. There isn't really much content on to make you want to stay right now.

I got DAZN the first day I could. Fan of it even before Canelo's announcement, mainly due to the WBSS.

A lot of people didn't even know they were fighting until a few days before. Hearn did a terrible job of promoitng it, he spent most of his time talking about PBC fighters. Besides more people were into the World Series, I for one watched the World
Series instead of the fight. It was Hearns mistake to schedule the fight when everyone is watching the World Series.

Those numbers and the mediocre attendance hurts Jacobs future negotiations power.

You're kind of right...

But, would most football fans watch a football team they aren't a fan of, from a different city just to watch football? Possibly, but it might not do so well, by NFL ratings standards.

Would a fan from Los Angeles (Lets say he's a Rams fan) watch the Falcons vs Titans?

So yea, a lot of us are boxing fans, but the boxers we're fans of come first, then boxing as a whole comes second. At least with me.

That's a dope pic of Sergiy and Jacobs!! It's funny how boxers can punch each other in the face for twelve rounds and shake hands at the end but basketball and baseball players get mad and storm off into the locker room afterwards lol
